Downloading Sample XML Data for Designing New Templates

This part of the Sample Data tab is for downloading sample data to use in designing a new report template file. You can download data from a specific project.

To download sample XML data for designing new templates:

  1. (Optional) In the Sample Project field, select the project or shell data you want to generate.

    If you do not specify a sample project or shell, the system will use data from the main view that was specified on the Views tab.

  2. In the Number of rows to return field, specify the number of rows of data you want to use for designing the template.
  3. Click the Generate button. This button is disabled in case of external data model report until the report has been published at least once.

    The system generates a random sample of the XML from the Sample Project, or the main view of data.

  4. Click OK.

You can then use this XML data in BI Publisher to design the template file.
